MANAGING MARCELLUS FORUM TO ADDRESS ENERGY & ECONOMIC IMPACT OF MARCELLUS SHALE DEVELOPMENT IN PENNSYLVANIA Managing Marcellus: Energy & The Economy Thursday, January 26 at 8 p.m. on WQED-TV viewer questions and comments to be taken LIVE via e-mail, Facebook and Twitter

PITTSBURGH—WQED Multimedia continues a year-long initiative called Managing Marcellus (that focuses on Marcellus Shale and its impact on the community) with Managing Marcellus: Energy & The Economy LIVE on Thursday, January 26 at 8 p.m. on WQED-TV.

Hosted by WQED’s Michael Bartley and Tonia Caruso, the forum will utilize a diverse panel to discuss Marcellus Shale development in Pennsylvania.

As part of Managing Marcellus a deliberative theater program was held in July 2011 that dramatized issues rose by Marcellus Shale drilling and recorded them to be used as part of the Experience: Managing Marcellus program which aired in October 2011. Surveys taken by the theater program audience were developed into a report that WQED used to determine what content areas the community wanted to focus on as part of Marcellus Shale conversation. In addition to Energy & The Economy WQED will also dedicate an entire episode of Pittsburgh 360° to Marcellus Shale drilling in Pennsylvania (March) and present a LIVE town hall meeting on Marcellus Shale and community concerns (May.)

Funding for this year-long initiative was made possible by a grant from the Colcom Foundation.
